You have just found your make up artist!

If you are reading this look no further then Juliet Cunnington - Bridal Makeup Artist!
I am just so delighted to have found her!

Contemplating on having your make up professionally done for your wedding day? My advice is to stop and just go for it!
You (and your bridal party) deserve it!

I can be quite a shy person at times however Juliet made me feel so comfortable throughout my trial that we talked as if we'd known eachother forever!

Throughout the planning, she remained so approachable and knowledgeable in which she created such a sense of ease, maintaining a professional approach throughout and embedding security and trust (exactly what us brides need!)

She told me she is a perfectionist when it comes to colour matching, one could say it's a brave statement but she certainly delivered!
Colour matching perfectly on the girls who hadn't had previous trials and also myself who had tanned for the big day, so despite our trial, she had the ability to adapt to my change in skin tone effortlessly and just got everything so spot on!

Juliet was well organised, efficient and timely on the wedding day, she excelled in her abilities to create high quality make up unique to each of our preferences that left us looking beautiful, feeling glamourous and confident all day!

Our make up stayed on all day (in fact, into the next too!) so there was absolutely no need to worry about any touch ups and we remained photo ready all day!

Simply the best

As soon as I first spoke to Juliet and saw the examples of her work I was sold.
Juliet is so warm and brings a brilliant energy to your wedding morning. At my wedding she glammed 8 of us in age ranges of 5 - 65 and made everyone feel so comfortable.
The make up looked amazing - every single person felt beautiful and the very best version of themselves, I think I will remember the faces of my bridesmaids when they saw themselves after their make up had been done forever - the make up lasted well in to the next day without a single top up! I would recommend Juliet as your make up artist for any event - we can’t wait to have her back for prom night next year for the girls! Thank you so much.

Juliet is the lady you want for your wedding day!!!

For anyone who is reading this, you just need to get Juliet booked in asap!! She was absolutely amazing from start to finish, it was 30+ degrees on my wedding day and my make up was flawless it lasted all day and nothing moved, I had so many compliments throughout the day from guests asking who did my make up you look so fresh faced still your make up hasn’t moved! Even crying and tearing up throughout the day it was still picture perfect right up till midnight from an 8:30am start.

I am so glad she was recommended to me and I’m so glad she was available, on the lead up of talking to Juliet about availability and mentioning that there was four of us in total all with different skin tones, she did not hesitate to say she loves working with different skin tones and colour matching and even went as far as showing pics of all brides and bridesmaids that she’s worked with to show her work, which definitely helped, Juliet was very responsive with all the questions I had and never once did she pressure you to secure her for your day.

At the trial, she really gets to know you and your skin and she makes you feel so at ease, it honestly felt like you’ve known her all your life and just friends catching up which is definitely what you want!!

On the day of the wedding she just worked her magic, it was like she was a part of the bridal party, my flower girls loved her too she gave them all a dab of glitter and gloss too, Juliet was on top of all the timings and just made the morning a breeze and worked in line with my hairstylist on the day, everyone was so at ease, it definitely made everything so stress free!

If I could I would have Juliet do my make up every day!! I will definitely be going back to Juliet in the future for any events however I know how quick she gets booked up so it definitely shows she’s amazing at what she does!!

Honestly you won’t regret having Juliet as your make up artist for your special day. Truly truly amazing!!

Look no further

Juliet was recommended to me by a friend and previous bride and I am so glad she was. My make up was stunning, but she kept me looking like me. It held so well, even in the summer heat and the mini lip gloss meant I couldn’t stay topped up all night. She takes the time to understand your skin and uses products that photograph like a dream. My 13yr old daughter also had her makeup put on by Juliet and it was just the right amount for her age. It enhanced her while looking like she wasn’t wearing any.
I am so pleased that I was able to get Juliet for my wedding day

Fantastic make up for an older bride on a swelteringly hot day

Juliet did a brilliant job on myself and the bridal party at my recent wedding. In sweltering 32 degree weather, our make up stayed in place, right to the end of the day. Juliet is the ultimate professional and I felt extremely safe in her capable hands. Everyone commented on how beautiful I looked, all credit to Juliet for this transformation, as I was an older bride she really did work wonders on me! I would not hesitate to recommend Juliet.

The best make up artist!

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist than Juliet for my wedding day. I’m someone who never really wears makeup, but she really listened to me and created a natural look that still made me feel so beautiful and like myself.

On the day, she was calm, professional, and kept everyone’s spirits up, which made such a difference to the atmosphere. My makeup lasted perfectly from morning to night, and I received so many compliments. I felt so confident and happy—I’d highly recommend Juliet to any bride!

Brilliant make-up artist for wedding

From the moment I contacted Juliet on Hitched to the morning of the wedding, she was fantastic!
She asked each person their usual make-up style and put everyone at ease. She made you feel so comfortable and nothing was too much trouble.
All the guests commented on how amazing and natural the make-up looked and I’m so pleased with how it looked on camera.
I can’t thank Juliet enough for everything ❤️

Perfect make up for a special occasion

From the moment I received a reply back from Juliet I knew she was the one to do my make up, for my daughter's wedding. She had already been highly recommended. I went round to her studio for a make up practice as I've never had my make up professionally done before. .I instantly felt calm as soon as she open the door, Juliet is the most friendly, full of so much Make up information experience.. Juliet asked what I would like, she recommended and explained everything before and after applying the make up. I loved every minute of being there I felt so relaxed and amazing afterwards. When it come to the day, my make up was perfect if not better than the practice. We had a chat she made me feel so beautiful. I had loads of compliments on how nice my make up was so thank you so much.

Highly Recommend!

Juliet did my wedding makeup in December 2025 at South Farm, and I couldn’t have asked for a better start to the morning. She was calm, friendly, and really good company for me, my bridesmaids, and my mum while we were getting ready. I wouldn’t have been able to do my own makeup, and she took the time to get everything just right, creating a natural, polished look that suited me.
She also did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids and my mum. My mum has never had her makeup professionally done before, and Juliet made her feel very special, which meant a lot. I really appreciated how professional and attentive she was while still keeping the morning relaxed and enjoyable. Having her there made the whole getting ready part of the day feel easy and stress free, and I’m very glad she was part of it.

Fantastic!

Juliet was fantastic, she looked after me and my bridesmaids really well and had some fun in the morning getting ready.

My sister who was a bridesmaid suffers badly with severe allergies and eczema And has never worn a full face of makeup up in her life but wanted to try for my wedding. I spoke to Juliet about this from the start and was fillled with confidence, we did a trial with myself and my sister and Juliet worked with my sister to trial products to see what worked with her skin. I have never seen my sister so shocked with the results. She didn’t have any issues after the trial and so gave her confidence going into the wedding day. She’s even using some of the products now.

I still looked like me all the products were light and I didn’t feel like I had any make up on at all so felt comfortable all day

Thank you for everything Juliet I can’t recommend enough.

Perfect wedding day make up!

Juliet went above and beyond on the morning of my wedding. Myself, Mum and 3 bridesmaids all looked and felt amazing, and Juliet was a calming face in a chaotic room!! Juliet is such a warm and professional make up artist, and so talented, that I would not hesitate to recommend her for anyone else’s wedding or special occasion.
